On Wednesday, Ghana’s one-sided Parliament approved 11 more nominees appointed by President John Mahama to head various ministries in his government.

Joy News' Elton John Brobbey reported that the majority side of the House unanimously approved the nominations after considering the report of the Appointments Committee, which vetted them. The parliamentary minority have boycotted matters relating to the president's appointments because party leaders are challenging his legitimacy as president in the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, the Committee has begun vetting other ministerial nominees, including Samuel Sarpong Minister-designate of the Ashanti Region, E.K.T. Addo Minister-designate of the Central Region, Bede Ziedeng Minister-designate of the Upper West Region, and Mr. Alhassan Azong Minister-designate at the Presidency.

Five other persons nominated to serve at the presidency will be vetted on Thursday, February 14.
